It's May and May is obviously the best time of the year to be talking testing! To this end we're scheduling our next yvrTesting meetup. This time with two great speakers who come from Deloitte. Some people grudgingly accept the "evil" of metrics, some people embrace them, understanding the power they have to convince projects folks of the reality of the state of quality in their project/org. Metrics, in some situations, can be your number one tool in getting the support you need to be successful. Either way, who better to speak to metrics than folks coming from one of Canada's largest SI's?
Elevating Software Testing Metrics
We are thrilled to invite Peter Budden and Mikhail Pavlov from the Quality Engineering practice at Deloitte to discuss their perspective on test metrics, the challenges facing large enterprises in 2025 and some practical approaches to encourage Quality Engineering behaviors across complex teams. In this session we will be inviting discussion to advance our understanding and application of software testing metrics among testers, test managers, and software engineering leaders.
Presentation Focus:
- Metrics in QE in 2025: Our presenters will provide insights into how clients are using test metrics, and the implications for Quality Engineering.
- Iterative Metrics Design: The team will explore adaptive approaches to metrics design, offering experience in statistical analysis to enhance metric effectiveness.
- Insightful Techniques: We will share techniques and experiences for developing metrics focused on actionable insights, fostering continuous improvement in software quality.
We are excited to have Peter and Mikhail contribute their expertise to our community, facilitating a rich exchange of ideas and strategies to propel Quality Engineering forward.
